Snap Pad on leveling Jacks?

[KRedburn]

Love them. Some RV Parks require a "pad" for leveler jacks. No steel on concrete. Snap pad is the way to go. Install once and "forget".

Have ordered the Snap Pad brand and received the 10% discount using the code recommendation. Thanks much. Coach just landed at the dealer today. We're hoping to close the deal this coming Saturday, then I'll update my signature!

It seems like jack pads, in general, are things that are very rarely needed if you aren’t boondocking in the wilds. Last year I spent 35 days heading west and back with no sites requiring them. I think they were likely useful when I parked in my brother’s lawn in Miami in the fall, but not sure. Other than that it seems like $200 is a lot to spend for something so rarely required. What am I missing?

It's like dunnage on a ship or an airplane, reduces the piercing load. Spreads the load on the jack foot out a bit for more support especially on uneven terrain. Less pounds per sq inch. They are really thick so they are very good on rough surfaces like dirt and gravel and boon docking, less likely to bend a jack foot. I don't think many RV parks require them.

I just installed a set yesterday on my 2018 Dynaquest XL. Super easy to install. Used them later in the afternoon at at a new RV Park. Love them already! No more bending under to put down jack pads and line them up each time. Encountered 3 RV Parks on our 2800 mile journey from coast to coast that required jack pads. But I use them every time anyway.

We have used ours now for almost two years and highly recommend them. No issues, no reason not to have them.

I have been using them since June 2016 and love them. I have the 1st version that doesn't have the drain holes but i know they will be going o. My new rig with drain holes

I have had them on my FR3 for almost a year. Yes, I leave them on. A textbook example of “set them and forget them”.

Just go to rvsnappad.com and you can find the correct size to order. If your rig isn't listed there, you can contact them with your rig id and they'll recommend the correct size for you.

Love love love them. Easy to install and no needs for blocks of wood

Snap Pads are the finest thing since sliced bread and shirt pockets. A little dish soap around the edges, bring your jacks down and they snap right in. Then forget them. Happy, safe trails and drive defensively.

Mine works great. Lost one one the way to florida. Company sent me one free of charge.

We have had them on our Forester class C and love them. Had them about a year now and no problems.

What motorhome do you have? How did you loose one, front or rear jack, did the jack hit something and it tore it off? I've heard once they are on there you can't get them off. Nice that they replaced it.

What is por 15?

Rust proofing, awesome stuff. Cover your skin if you use it

Is there a leveling pad brand you prefer?

Last year at the factory, front passenger jack was replaced.

they removed snap from old jack, put it back on new jack.

It is still there after a year.
